Topic: Regarding my absence.... (Read 5782 times)

Hey guys, been a while. As some of the FL crew were aware, my wife and I had to take in her mother, after she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. She moved in with us last June, with a 6 month diagnosis. We took care of her for 13 months, and sadly, she passed away on Friday. It was very trying, and demanding from both of us. It was like a full time job, on top of our regular full time jobs.

Anywho, this is why I haven't been around, I just haven't had time. Its been 7 months since I touched a tool for making knives, but over the next few weeks as things transition back to normal, I should be getting back into the game. My apologies to all those who have been waiting on various projects from me, please know that I will make good on all of them. We just need a little more time for things to settle down. I appreciate your patience, and look forward to jumping back into the community here ASAP!!

That's got to be tough. We had some losses this spring so Kelly and I empathize. Be well and hope to see you soon brother.

I love being out in the woods! I like this quote from Mors Kochanski - "The more you know, the less you carry". I believe in the same creed, & think "Knowledge & honed skills" are the best things to carry with ya when you're out in the wilds. They're the ultimate "ultralight" gear!

Just seen this Steve. Condolences to Alicia, you & Family. You all have been on my mind lately, I've past thru several times and started to call, but held off.Take care, if you need anything please give me a shout.

Sorry doesn't mean much I suppose, but I hope you and your wife find some good in this past year caring for her mom.We all go through it and should never need to apologise for caring for our families.Good luck,Yeo
